... engineering (the major that I choose first semester) was a lot more than I expected. I ended up failing Physics, Calculus and Chemistry! In addition to that, I was subject to separation from < > college. Well, now a decision really had to be made; it was time for me to make a choice. My parents told me to think about other colleges and to think about other things to do instead of college, but I knew that < > was right for me. They often suggested that I go to community college for a semester or two and make sure that I was doing something that I wanted to do. I had attended the community college in my area during my last year in high school to take some extra ...
... of tree stumps, roots, branches, leaves, and whatever else might float down the river) along the banks, and it has so many sunken canoes and sunken logs along it's main channel that safe passage through it is impossible - unless you stick to the right side of the bend.” As we neared the end of a long straight away in the river, I noticed the speed of the water was increasing exponentially. A look farther down the river told me what I had been dreading this whole trip now lay before us, and we were going into Wallace's Point from the wrong side of the river! “Rich! Back-right stroke! Back-right stroke! Hurry! Don't you see that we're going in the wro ...
... on the moon. Numerous scientists and writers have already also predicted this. Life will also be made much, much easier in the future for humans by robots, computers, and other automatons. Many simple tasks done today by humans such as cooking, cleaning, and repairing household items will be done by these machines much more quickly and efficiently and with less pollution. Almost all of the current manual labor jobs, especially in the United States, will become obsolete and robots will do all of the work for us. The advantages of using robots and computers include no pay, no time off, and no complaints or questions asked. Also, nearly every job in the future wil ...
... over the passenger compartment. Soon, we circled the landing zone. The LZ looked cold. There's only one way to find out if it is really cold, I thought as I double checked my M16. If no one zapped us when we entered, it was cold. If they did, it wasn't. "Lock and load," I yelled. The helicopter circled low and slowed down until it almost hovered four feet from the ground. The door gunner mashed the spade grips on his .30 caliber M60 machine gun. The gun spewed bullets over the field below us. It was time to jump off the skids while we skimmed above the surface of the lush, green valley. My stomach felt like it was turning wrong-side-out. We dropped ...
... shiny and reflective, it resembled a finely-cut diamond. The rare and distinct fragrance enticed us. It smelled like mother-nature herself, with aromas ranging from wildlife and wet grass, to evaporated swamp water and healthy dirt. Then, the time for us to find the desired vessel arrived. We chose the kayaks, and set out for the water. Carefully, with our torn-jeans rolled up, and shirts off, we dragged the massive thing over the slope of grass and mud into the shallow stream. We then hopped aboard, grabbed the paddles, and floated and splashed into nowhere. The wavy current sucked us downstream, periodically bouncing us off of sandbags and sharp bra ...
... 25 years ago in my fathers court... “Your Majesty!, Riders from Fort Condor have arrived! Our men have been over run and castle sacked. ”, said the Kings General exasperatedly, “ Our armies were well trained there, even your elite guard was lost, These CANNOT BE MORTALS YOUR MAJESTY!” The King turned and took a good look at his general. Ragnoth was a tall man, and yet for his age he seemed far, far older. He bore enough scars for an army. He had the strength of 2 blacksmiths in his old age. Well he was not that old, Ragnoth was barely fifty. He carried a long thin bladed sword on his back, and he knew how to use it. His armour shimmered, made of a v ...
... the evolution of a person's psyche. To the best of my knowledge, this is what my intuition on the conformity of mankind is based upon. The other source that aided in the instillment of individualism in me, is the various authors, poets, songwriters, and other dignitarys who I valued as authority. Any sort of publication that celebrates the individual captures my attention and can range from the books and essays of Henry David Thoreau to the rebelious content in the music of Rage Against the Machine. Since I read Walden, Thoreau has branded his interpretation of a famous saying into my brain: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it i ...
... ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it. After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no dought that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt badly for other people, but I was proud to have such an onnipotent person as my dad. We found a smooth and a often space. My dad was holding the rear of the seat to make sure I didn't fell. He assured me that I was not going to fall because he wou ...
... the following year, he married a young woman who had worked in the same company. However, unfortunately, after 3 months of his marriage, his mother died by the cancer. Because his mom’s death suddenly occurred, he could not afford sadness for a while. After the mom’s death, her husband, the old man, moved to his son’s house, because his whole body was very weakened because of excessive amount of work when his son was attending college. Anyway, the old man was frankly not happy since he thought that his son would feel uncomfortable, especially in the beginning of his marriage. Believe it or not, his son, who always cared about his dad and loved him so much, cha ...
... already waiting for her. They said at the same time "There's a pop quiz in math today!" "How do you know?, said Cathy. " We heard Mr. Biller talking about it to another teacher." "I'm going to fail!"exclaimed Cathy. Cathy hated math, probably because she had it first hour. Cathy was having a bad day, she got 1 out of 50 right on the math test. From then on it was downhill all day. Until science her science teacher was going crazy about the explosion of Earth. She found out that there was a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. The Russians sent an experimental new weapon to United States. The US was trying to defuse is when it blew away the w ...
